Develop the technical expertise and practical experience required by today’s communication and information engineering industries. This course is accredited by the IET and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website Course overview Our MSc in Communications and Information Engineering allows students to gain an in- depth understanding of the theoretic underpinnings alongside the physical-layer aspects of wireless and optional communication systems. You’ll cover developments in wireless network architectures and deployment (such as 4G/5G/6G communication systems) and have the opportunity to study digital multimedia storage and communication technologies, data analytics and data mining in terms of algorithms and goals in real-world problems. Cross-discipline options from the Department of Computer Science offer key insights into approaches for dealing with the explosion in data collected in modern society (‘Big Data’). After graduation you’ll be well equipped for employment opportunities in modern information and communication engineering, which is currently undergoing a revolution. Recent graduates from the course occupy positions in a variety of industries in the UK and worldwide, including core network provision, logistics, software support and data communication equipment/services, as well as banking, oil and gas, and fashion. The course is also the perfect platform for progression to a PhD. This information is applicable for 2026 entry.

Getting in
As the university states it
Minimum requirements A minimum 2:1 undergraduate UK Honours degree or equivalent international qualification, in an engineering, physical sciences or mathematical subject. Please note that applicants will need post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, and including differential equations. This could be gained through a mathematics module taken as part of an undergraduate course. It is expected that candidates have a good understanding of these topics at the start of their MSc studies. You can see how your current degree score or GPA equates to the British system in our Study pages in the equivalent scores table. We are willing to consider applications from students with lower qualifications on a case-by-case basis, particularly when the applicant can evidence relevant employment, practical experience or strong performance in undergraduate modules related to their proposed postgraduate course of study. To ensure you have the essential foundations for the course, and depending on your overall academic profile, we may require you to take a mathematical skills test. English language requirements You can find out more about our English language requirements on our website. This course requires the following: - Band A - IELTS overall score of 6.5, minimum component scores not below 6.0.
